Our Giving

All that we do is financed from God, who puts resources into our hands and then allows us the opportunity to be blessed and to bless others through our giving. This applies to us as individuals and as a church.

Our mission giving is 15% of our income and is directed towards registered Christian charities with an outreach focus in the UK and abroad.

Local Mission

This is the way in which we support the work of our wider church family in the UK:

Soar Valley

We are part of the Soar Valley Gospel Partnership. In September 2018 the group helped launch a new church in Castle Donington. As part of our giving we have committed to support the church through their start up and first years.

BU Home Mission is all about helping Baptist churches and individuals to reach their mission potential and bring the love of God to their communities. It is the Baptist family purse, and each year our Union has an appeal to raise money for Home Mission. Grants are given to support a variety of ministries in and through Baptist churches and chaplains across the country. It also enables all our churches and ministers to be supported and helped through the work of the Regional Associations and the specialist teams. For more information visit www.baptist.org.uk

World Mission

Our support of our world church family is through the BMS and three other partner organisations, on a rolling three-year basis.

We support the work of the Baptist Missionary Society.
As part of our support we have been linked to Alan and Megan Barker. Originally from Cambridgeshire, they worked with the United Mission to Nepal from 2000 to 2004, returning in 2007 they are now based in Surket in Western Nepal, working with the International Nepal Fellowship. Megan works in occupational therapy and Alan in programme support. For more information visit www.bmsworldmission.org

They help communities overcome the worst effects of poverty and disasters – they believe that the same people who face these issues, also have the best idea as to how they can overcome them.

Elnur works for Turkic Belt Ministries and lives in the UK. The Turkic Belt is a group of countries across Central Asia, stretching from Turkey in the West, to Tajikistan in the East. Many of these countries are now Islamic States and are often environments where Christians are persecuted for their beliefs. The vision of this organisation is to bring the Good News of Jesus to the region. For more information visit www.turkicbeltministries.co.uk
